Presentation
This training primarily responds to a need for future "radiopharmacists". It shall in particular facilitate access to the Ministry of public health of their approval as officials responsible for monitoring compliance and quality of radioisotopes used therapeutically (title of raiopharmacist awarded by the federal agency for nuclear control - FANC, article 47 of the royal decree of 20 July 2001).
This training may also be interesting for hospital and industrial pharmacists during their professional activity, as they will face the quality control and/or deliver radiopharmaceutical medicine.
Finally, this certificate is open to all holders of a master¿s degree (pharmacists, doctors, physicists, chemists, graduates in biomedical sciences, etc.) who wish to perfect their knowledge of radiopharmaceuticals.
As regards the approval of the title of radiopharmacist by the Ministry of Public Health, accessible only to qualified pharmacists, the certificate must be completed by a placement of at least one year in a hospital and industrial environment, during which the applicant will deal with the preparation and quality control of pharmaceutical products.
Special conditions of access / students concerned
This training programme is aimed at holders of a master¿s degree in pharmacy, medicine, physics, chemistry or biomedicine.
Recognition of the title ¿radiopharmacist¿ is only accessible to qualified pharmacists.
Applicants who don¿t meet these conditions will be examined by the coordinator in charge of the training programme, on the basis of their file.
Prerequisites: a university degree providing a minimum knowledge of medication (chemical, analytical, pharmacotherapeutic, regulatory aspects, etc.).
Duration of the training
One year (44 credits) or two years (104 credits) for candidates who wish recognition of the qualification of radiopharmacist from the Ministry of Public Health. The second year is dedicated to an additional placement of one year in both a hospital and industrial environment. This placement must take place under the supervision of a placement supervisor who is an approved radiopharmacist, active in the field.
